Oh, it wasn't me but the bloggers over on the Luxarazzi blog, who are fabulous! It's the No. 1 resource when it comes to the grand ducal family, they usually know what even the unknown members of the family are up to and report about it.

Lady Finn, thanks for the pictures (great one of Letizia's face). I am wondering about these army officer uniforms which the royal men wear. Some of them do not look right to me for a wedding. W-A looks older than he is and not of the same brand as Maxima, who is so bright and stylish on his arm. I believe formal evening dress would look better, such as that worn by Prince Felix and other younger royals. Mary's husband--what's his name, Fred?--looks like something out of the Pirates of Penzance. I know it's tradition, and some really like it, but I say they should change to a new tradition. I would have even preferred Guillaume in formal dress. His uniform was simple and hence not burlesque, but when he came out of the cathedral I believe he put on his long sword which someone must have handed him. I didn't like the sword. Anyway, I'm nit-picking. Thanks for the pics!

Thanks carlota...it was such a perfectly beautiful wedding!:whistling:

The Order of Sartorial Splendor had a post about bridal entrances -Stephanie's was one of the five or so that was show cased in her blog post!

It brought tears to my eyes!

1. She was a stunning bride -beautiful dress, smile (she seems so genuine).
2. Her handsome groom and his expression when waiting for her to come down to meet him at the alter! There is no doubt that these two are a love match!!
3. The tribute of silence to Stephanie's mother Alix in the beginning was so touching and sweet!
4. Lastly, I never really understood why her father walked her down the aisle, and why it was her brother the entire time. It was just now that I learned that he was too sick to do so. Bless his heart! When Stephanie made it to the alter, she and Guillaume greeted her father and spoke with him/exchanging sweet smiles! This was so lovely. For sure one of those moments that the two of the. Will not forget.

What a special wedding for such a sweet couple!

The luxumbourgish, Dutch and Balkin families have always been my favorite. This wedding, however has really, changed my wedding dress favs.... Now I really don't know which dress I want anymore for number one... MAX OR STEPH! Maybe I can have both!
